The firm, whose chips help power artificial intelligence (AI) applications, has been sued by a trio of authors accusing the company of using copyrighted books without their consent to train its NeMo AI platform, Reuters reported Sunday (March 10).
According to the report, writers Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O’Nan said their books were part of a dataset of about 196,640 works that helped train NeMo to simulate normal written language, before being pulled in October “due to reported copyright infringement.”
